I agree, and I used to hold that against the fediverse, but now I kinda consider it a feature and not a bug. It's not hard to use, it's just a learning curve. Once you've learned it, it's very straightforward. So far in my experience, this has lead to an overall higher quality in posting and a general decrease in spam, because the people there are those who were willing to put in the effort of learning it.
So what you're saying is that it basically acts like the old Internet, where the requirement of being able to read instructions acted as a filter against stupidity?
